Welcome! I received my PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard University under the guidance of my wonderful advisors, Brent Coull and Jeffrey Miller. My research into the effects of air pollution on human health, as well as my involvement with the Harvard Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment (C-CHANGE) shaped my desire to work on problems in climate and clean energy after graduation.

I am currently a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow at the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program where I work on federal fleet electrification and energy storage deployment projects to help decarbonize the federal government's vehicles and facilities. Previously, I was a Project Manager at Urban Ocean Lab, a climate policy think tank for U.S. coastal cities.

Prior to graduate school, I was an Associate Product Manager at Applied Predictive Technologies (since acquired by Mastercard) where I worked with software engineers and business consultants to implement data analytic tools and dashboards that help companies assess the incremental impact of business experiments and marketing campaigns. I completed my undergraduate studies in Statistics at Harvard University with a minor in Chemistry. For my undergraduate thesis, I collaborated with the Melton Lab to perform a screening experiment to identify potential therapeutics for type-I diabetes.
